This is a story is a continuation of my earlier story: Nevermore Remix. In that story, some of the titan's characters moved from an alternate universe (AU) into the original titan's universe. The story also included the formation of another titan's teen under the leadership of Jinx and the return of Terra.

Jinx's team now includes Jinx, Kid Flash, Karen/Bee, who is an AU Bumblebee, The Beast, an AU Beastboy, and Phoenix, an AU Raven.

Terra has been mostly accepted into the original Teen Titans team.

The most, if not all, characters from the first story will make appearances in this story.

Please read and review.

-------------------------------------

On the world of Phicota, there existed in Royal City a palace. The huge palace was mixture of old and new, of smooth flowing arches and sharp angular corners. In some places of the palace, it looked like no expense was spared in its construction while other sections was build by the lowest bid contract. It looked like there was no coherent plan in its construction, and if you looked closely, you can see that it was still being worked on today.

The Phicotans are a humanoid cat-like people with pointed ears and long tails. And if you got too close to one, you can see their sharp claws and pointed teeth. The hair on their heads are long flowing manes and the their body hair grew from a quarter of an inches to up to eight inches long in extreme cases. They loved to wear beads and jewelry woven into the hair of their head, arms and legs. The colors of the their furs varied from white to black, with browns, tans and brownish reds dominating. The clothing they wore looked like what earth people would wear on a very hot day. The skimpy clothing showed lots of exposed, but furry, arms, legs, stomachs and backs.

Most Phicotans walked and milled around on the ground, but a few flew between some of Royal City's building at twenty or more feet off of the ground. One teenage female figure with a ponytail ran through the large open plaza in front of the palace's main gates. Her tan hairy frame was covered in a reddish two-piece bathing suit-like set of clothes and beads of expensive amber were woven into the hair of her head and forearms. Ahead of her a mob of Phicotans buzzed with quite excitement.

She asked of the first person, a male, she came to, "What's happening? What's going on?"

The male said as he turned to her, "It's a duel… Princess GreenLeaf!" He started to bow.

The princess said exasperated, "Don't bow now. We're not in the palace. We're not doing the royal time stuff now. How can I shop with everyone bowing? How can I talk to people who are kneeling?"

The male straighten himself. "I'm sorry, Princess. My apologizes."

"No need for an apologize. No need for sorrow. Now who is dueling? Why are they Dueling? I want to know! I want to know!"

"Well, Princess, it's a duel between professors BrightEarth and TallTree. Both are professors of inter-dimensional physics. They have competing theories. They are both no longer polite. That they're not."

Princess GreenLeaf asked, "My good friend, of name unknown, is this a Dual of Scientific Discovery? Are they fighting to find out whose theory is most correct?"

The male said, "Yes, it is true. My name is FreshGround. That is who I am. But pardon me, my Princess, for the duel has begun. The professors are finding out who is the teacher and who is the student."

"Thank you very much. I am indebted", said GreenLeaf just before she politely weaved between the members of the crowd from the safe back lines to the not-so-safe front lines.

There on the ground wrestled two male distinguished professors of higher learning.

Judging the academics contest was the president of the Royal City University, himself.

As the two grunted from assertions of intelligential powers and mostly brute strength, arcs of electricity bounced between them. Their tails and fur were puffed up in anger.

Professor TallTree growled, "Your theories of hyperspace-distortion waves are purely not-true."

Professor BrightEarth threw TallTree off of him, yelling, "And you think your day dream of inter-dimension inversions are more valid? Hah!"

Princess GreenLeaf said out loud, "I do love a good intellectual discussion. Yes I do."

Both the professors rolled to a stand with cat-like grace. From TallTree's hand a bolt of electricity leaped at, but missed, BrightEarth. It stuck a member of the audience. That person was knocked down, and then stood up, acting like nothing happened. BrightEarth laughed as he leaped at his opponent, strike him with the edge of the hand.

In pure fury, TallTree roared, striking BrightEarth with his claws extended. Both professors froze as blood started to soak BrightEarth's fur. The crowd started to angrily hissed.

The president of the university called out, "Due to a disqualification with the illegal use of the claws, Professor BrightEarth's theories are ruled the more valid and worthy of more research funding. Professor TallTree's illegal use of his claws has earned him the 'Embarrassment of the Removal of Dignity'. Tonight all his hair will be shaven off and he will be demoted by two ranks in his status as a professor. That is all."

The princess said, "I hate it when they can't have a reasonable discussion without shredding blood; not enough thought and honor; too much blood."

She quickly weaved her way to the palace's main gate as people started to take notice of who she was. Shouts of "Princess GreenLeaf" were called out as she crossed the gate and pass the guards.

GreenLeaf briefly turned, smiled (without showing the teeth) and waved at the crowd before retreating into the palace.

She sighed, "I can't go anywhere without people trying see me, talk to me, talk AT me, trying to get access to father…"

As she walk into the crowded reception area of the palace, a female voice called out, "Get back here, now! Stop running, Little One!"

GreenLeaf started to move quickly through the crowd towards the voice. Suddenly coming out of the crowd ahead of her was a small eight-year old reddish-brown Phicotan girl, dressed in one of the palace's maid uniforms.

The girl cried out, "Princess GreenLeaf", as she latched onto the princess. A powder coated the young maid's uniform.

Coming up was another maid, a teenager with tan fur. The angry look on her face was replaced by exasperation when she spotted the princess. The older maid bowed.

GreenLeaf in a polite slightly friendly voice, "Maid CalmRiver, please stand straight and tell me what, may I ask, has happened? Tell me please and why is poor little PrettyFlower covered in Heolok powder? Yes, I would like to know."

CalmRiver straighten herself. "Princess, Maid-in-training PrettyFlower has been trying to cook again. There is quiet a mess in the kitchen-"

The child, PrettyFlower rudely interrupt, "Part of the mess is your fault, too! If you hadn't tried to stop me-"

Princess GreenLeaf sharply interrupted, "Be polite now! She is your superior!"

Tears started to rollout on the fur of PrettyFlower's face. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

Maid CalmRiver sighed and started to reach for the child. The princess shook her head.

The maid complain politely, "But Princess, she can't always go running to you every time she causes… discomforts in the operations of the palace. That she can't."

Princess GreenLeaf said, "Let this princess have her way one more time. Please Maid CalmRiver. It's not like we didn't cause any problems when we were her age. Right, Maid CalmRiver?"

The Maid said tensely, but politely, "Yes, Princess. What you say is true."

The princess escorted the child to a side room connected to the reception area. It had a table and several chairs, each one not matching the others. She sat the child down in one of them and said, "We are Phicotans, PrettyFlower. We must not be impolite. We are a polite people and must be always nice to each other."

Maid-in-training frowned, "Even with people you don't like? I've seen Maid CalmRiver and you get mad at each other but you are both still polite. Why? Tell me why?"

The princess sighed, "It because we, as a people, have so many enemies in the universe. Peoples who would do us harm. We must remain undivided as a people to stand against those evil peoples. Yes, we must."

The child asked, "Who are these naughty peoples? Who? Who?"

"The people who had once enslaved us, the Lligrurans are one. Yes. And then there is the Citadel and their servants, the Gordanians, are two more. Then there is our most ancient enemy, the Tamaraneans. We have lost many, many people to those fiends. Too many."

PrettyFlower asked, "I heard that they can fly like we do? Can they?"

Princess GreenLeaf smiled without showing any teeth and said, "No, they don't. They fly a different way."

"How, Princess? How?"

"The Tamaraneans store great amounts of green gas within their stomachs and when they need to fly they just fart it all out and zoom around like missiles. That they do."

PrettyFlower giggled and then she asked, "What is a Kiefza? Tell me."

The princess lost all her humor. She said slowly, "It's a bad word that our enemies use to name us Phicotans. It means 'Useless'. That it does."

In the courtroom on Earth, the lady judge studied the court's occupants. Sitting before her was the entire Teens Titan team including Terra in the front row. Behind them sat Jinx, Kid Flash, Karen, the Beast, Phoenix along with two members of Teen Titans East: Bumblebee and Speedy. There are no jurors in the jurors' box.

The judge said, "I have decided not to send Terra off for a trial for the assault of this city, due to evident supplied by the Teen Titans and the self sacrifice that she has made in preventing a volcano from appearing in the city."

Terra hugged Beastboy as cheers from most of the titans. Raven's face remained neutral.

The judge added, "BUT! I have decided to assign an overseer to monitor and help Terra to become a trusted member of this community."

Robin stood up, "I understand. I'll act as Terra's monitor."

Robin received a big smile from Starfire as Terra grumbled, "Oh man. I'd wish it could have been Beastboy."

Raven smirked.

The judge shook her head, "No, as leader of the Titan's team, I deem that you wouldn't have enough time for Terra."

Terra quietly said, "Yes!"

Raven rolled her eyes and Starfire looked concerned.

Cyborg said, "You judgeship, I'll watch over Terra. Me and the kid get along."

Terra said with a thoughtful look, "I can live with that."

Beastboy complained to her, "But it's not me!"

The judge shook her head again, "No. I was looking for somebody she can communicate with."

Beastboy whispered, "YES!"

Raven smiled and said quietly, "Well, it is not me."

The judge continued, "Someone who is of her own gender."

Beastboy looked shocked and whispered, "No!"

Raven chuckled. Terra quietly complained to her, "You're so mean."

Raven responded in a whisper, "At least I'm talking to you."

Starfire grinning from ear to ear said, "The lady of judges must mean me. Terra, you and I will have so much fun doing each other's hair and-"

The Judge spoke up, "Seeing Terra and Raven are whispering so well together has confirmed my decision. Raven will be Terra's monitor and assist her back on the path of being a heroine."

Raven said in shock, "What?"

Terra exclaimed, "NO!"

Starfire asked puzzled, "Are you saying that I am not of Terra's gender?"

Robin asked, "Your Honor, will you please reconsider? Terra and Raven have problems getting along."

Both Raven and Terra nodded.

The judge said, "Raven is a heroine of the city. She's someone I admired greatly and I know that of all the Titans, she has the most self-control and that is what is needed to assist Terra. My decision is final."

Terra stared in shock at Raven, who in turned stared in shock at the leaving judge.

Terra said nervously to Raven, "Ah… Ah…."

Raven responded sourly, "Whatever."

-----------------------------------

Lady Morningsky led Blackfire up the curved granite stairs. The Lady said, "Your suite is just ahead. Princess Blackfire, remember that it is on the fourth floor of the palace's third wing. Forget that and you will have lost your room."

Blackfire smirked, "All I got to do is follow our foot prints on all these dusty floors. Couldn't my so-called mother afford enough staff to clean her house?"

Morningsky responded, "Your mother doesn't really paid that much. Most of the palace's staff from people from families that owe her a debt."

"With her being a former queen, I would guess that some of those that followed her wasn't for a mere debt? Am I right?"

Lady Morningsky smirked slightly, "You're bright. Of course, some of the staff followed your mother into exile. I would guess that in some cases, blackmail could have used to recruit a few key personnel."

Blackfire asked as they came to the top of the stairs, "Debt, exile or blackmail, which method was used to recruit you into my mother's staff?"

Morningsky avoided the question. "Princess Blackfire, here is your room. We should now reunite you with your mother."

Blackfire smiled. "I'll first freshen up a little in my room. Why don't you go and inform my 'mother' that I'll be down there shortly."

"But Princess, your mother said-"

Blackfire said bluntly, "Now who is the princess here? You or me? Go, Lady Morningsky, and inform my mother."

The lady look in turmoil for a few seconds and then said, "Very well, Princess Blackfire. As per your commands, I will inform your mother. The dining area is on second floor, in the central core of the palace. I'll tell your mother and brother to expect your presence, shortly."

Lady Morningsky curtsied, turned and left. Blackfire waited until Morningsky left her sight and then stealthily started to follow her.

As Lady Morningsky walked, she thought to herself: Well, Princess, I wonder if you are following me or just stealing everything that is not nailed down?

Lady Morningsky chuckled to herself. You're a lot like your mother, princess, except you didn't have a single nice word for me… hmm, respect. I like that. You're going to make life here very interesting, princess.
